My name is Chris a born and bred cockney from the East End of London. I have been guiding walking tours around the great City of London since 2005 when I qualified as an official City of London guide. I have been passionate about the history of London since I was a small boy and that passion has never died. My interest in the City has enabled me to explore many of the traditions, secrets and eccentricities of the City that most people do not know about and which I can now share with my clients on my walks. I love London, come for a walk with me and let me share my knowledge of the great and beautiful city with you.
Explore the Westminster area of London from quaint alleyways to grand Royal avenues. This is LONDON at its ROYAL Springtime best.
You will usually see the Changing of the King's Lifeguards at Horseguards.
Come with me for a walk through over 1000 years of history and see the best of what London has to offer visitors.
The great advantage of taking one of my walking tours is that we will go where bus sightseeing tours cannot go, for much of this tour you will find it hard to believe that you are in the busy bustling center of London.
I love the quirky strange stories which most people do not know and I know you will learn and be entertained on this walk .
We start at the ancient Charing Cross and finish at the magnificent Palace of Westminster.
Along the way we will visit

Please be aware that while GuruWalks are FREE to book, you pay what you think is fair after the walk. "Try before you buy" does not get better than this !
When deciding what is fair please consider that your Guru Chris, is a professional qualified London guide and this is their job. So if you enjoy the walk and pay nothing, (Yes, some people do this) that really would not be fair. The average payment for this type of tour in London is £15- £20
Minimum number - The minimum number of walkers booked in for this tour to take place is 5. If there are fewer than this number 12 hours before the start time I will, sadly, have to cancel the tour as it will be uneconomic for me.

I will meet you in the forecourt of Charing Cross Station in front of the Clermont Hotel. I will be holding a purple umbrella with white spots
Free tours do not have a set price, instead, each person gives the guru at the end of the tour the amount that he or she considers appropriate (these usually range from €10 to $50 depending on satisfaction with the tour).
